Nerd Alert: Understanding the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern Method in Cricket
T20
A brand-new cricket format where you get this, the entire game typically ends in under four hours. Can it ever gain traction?
The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method
As if cricket wasn’t already a nerd festival, the sport developed a way to end rain-affected games by using a formula developed by British statisticians Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis (whose names, by the way, sound like the most British statistician names in history). A revision to the formula that considers contemporary playing methods was created in 2015 when Professor Steven Stern soldered his name to the back.
Is this just? Exactly what? It is not up to us to comprehend; all we have to do is accept the verdicts rendered by the Trinity.
Review of Decisions System
Sachin Tendulkar at first detested it. It has become a favorite among finger spinners. The leading cricket consultants today are wicketkeepers. Bowlers can no longer fully rejoice over an lbw call or a slight nick until the frames have been examined, the real-time squiggly line has been read, and the on-field umpire has been informed when they are on display to the world, like a knickers model on a runway but far sexier.
Rock’n’roll
During a decision-review process, umpires are permitted to use this phrase to describe the back-and-forth of the video frames. They merit good hip in the boomer dad sense.
Stadium bands being terminated
Now that we’ve spoiled the umpires, a severe problem. In the past ten years, referees have made it a routine to ask paper bands to keep quiet throughout the overs when they are playing, notably in Sri Lanka and during Test matches. This custom helps them hear the nicks better. Please don’t make the game less enjoyable.
Powerplay
Similar to a fielding restriction, with the exception that ODI cricket had previously experimented with batting powerplays when the batting team tended to lose wickets and bowling powerplays when the bowling team managed to perform poorly.
Franchise leagues
Similar to KFC, McDonald’s, or Subway, except with everyone calling themselves Knight Riders.
Strategic timeouts
Cricket officials have decided that the game is being played too slowly, given the over-rate fines they have handed out in recent years. Do you despise money, you vile commie? Unless you’re referring to strategic timeouts, which typically last at least two minutes, occur twice throughout a T20 inning, and are used solely for strategizing, what do you care if the broadcast sells a few additional TV advertising during the break?
Pinch-hitters
Its expression is borrowed from baseball and means to replace someone in the starting lineup or something similar (honestly, this essay doesn’t have much research; you can look it up yourself). Initially, it meant Sanath Jayasuriya was about to end some poor guy’s cricket career.
Death overs
The section of an inning where average bowling lengths cease to exist, and you’re either bowling yorker after yorker (only if you’re a freak)), bowling seven different sorts of slower balls, or have accepted the fact that getting hammered over cow corner is now your lot in life.
Add Variation to Your Bowling Attack with the Slower-Ball Bouncer
Slower ball
It’s like regular balls but slower, and you must pretend you are bowling quickly. Therefore, it’s worse than the ball you are trying to bowl.
However, you must act the part.
Slower-ball bouncer
The opposite of a bouncer. (It only works if you have a standard non-trash bouncer.)
Wide yorker
It’s a yorker, but it stacks the off-side outfield and lands 0.5 meters away from the off stump. If the hitter you are bowling to uses a scoop stroke, you should consult your team analyst; in that case, a slower-ball yorker on the stumps with fine leg up would be your best option. Possibly not. Honestly, follow the analyst’s instructions.)The opposite of a bouncer. (It only works if you have a standard non-trash bouncer.)
Team analyst
Why don’t you dumb cricketers pay attention to them?
Yeah, Viv, talk no
Viv, hurry up. Man, talk no. To you, he revealed.
Scoop
As in Misbah-ul-Haq’s final shot in the 2007 T20 World Cup final, when the batter kneels and throws the ball over their shoulder like a gravedigger creating a new coffin space. Or is it the shot that raises T20 cricket to a new level? (View Misbah-ul-Haq’s final image in the T20 World Cup final of 2007)
Dilscoop
with more heart than the scoop. Most frequently of a length ball. It sails over the custodian when played correctly. Few people have had the courage, stupidity, or Dilshan to pull it off.
Switch hit
when you exchange hands and play the ball with your right or left hand while being the other way around. The name of a good cricket podcast. Though, it’s pretty good. Alan Gardner tends to host it. Wow! Quickly subscribe.
Stump mic
We can hear the expletives of our favorite cricketers with pinpoint clarity thanks to a device implanted in the wickets—moreover, another fantastic podcast. I hope my pay is going up for this kind of corporate schmoozing.
Spot-fixing
when cricket players plan to manipulate the result of a single ball during a match. After being caught, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif were sentenced to prison. While trying to get a ball stumped off, Lou Vincent came down the track during an Indian Cricket League match and unintentionally hit a ball f
Doosra
The googly of the offspinner. Haters will be hated.
Carrom ball
The offspinner’s googly can be read out of the hand more quickly.
Hyperextension
People sometimes accuse clingy fast bowlers of tossing, but it turns out that they are doing the reverse, oppositely bending their elbows.
The Big Three
India-England-Australia. the cricketing axis of evil. Or merely the inescapable carriers of cricket’s march toward capitalism. Whether you have a mouth attached to one of their money spouts determines your position.
Reverse swing
Oh, the traditional cricket powers have figured out how to do it? An unacceptable phenomenon that nefarious practitioners pretend is an innovation? Oh my goodness, how amazingly great! Reverse swing is a magnificent example of how cricketing ability has evolved and is a celebration of what makes the game so exciting and captivating.
Pink-ball Tests
The term “batsman” is still primarily used in cricket, okay? However, we use a pink ball in some of our games. Are you feminists saying that’s not enough?
SENA
The countries of South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia are those where the ball seams and bounces before edging and leaping happily into the clutches of a slip fielder while typically taunting South Asian batters.
Words that are no longer popular
Pitch-doctoring
Making tracks expressly to disadvantage your opponent was once frowned upon. However, almost everybody does it now.
Why? Why? Because, well, screw the opposition.
Chinaman
The book’s title is regarded as the best cricket book ever published. So, like a great NBA player’s jersey, we’re hanging up our hats this semester.
Blackwash
Is it that West Indies no longer routinely destroy Test opponents or that it’s not cool to say “blackwash” anymore? Whatever the case, you won’t hear it.
